Graphics, sound and multimedia • Multichannel 7.1 audio over HDMI

$

Hi,

I am trying to get 7.1 multichannel audio through HDMI with no luck. I am using a Pi4 with bookworm.

Is there any special config in ALSA or PULSE that I need to implement?

What I've noticed is that the audio card properties change depending on the DRM I am using.

If using vc4-kms-v3d, the audio decives lists as follows:

Code:

card 0: vc4hdmi0 [vc4-hdmi-0], device 0: MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0 [MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0]  Subdevices: 1/1  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0card 1: vc4hdmi1 [vc4-hdmi-1], device 0: MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0 [MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0]  Subdevices: 1/1  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
If using vc4-fkms-v3d, the audio decives lists as follows:

Code:

card 0: b1 [bcm2835 HDMI 1], device 0: bcm2835 HDMI 1 [bcm2835 HDMI 1]  Subdevices: 3/4  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0  Subdevice #1: subdevice #1  Subdevice #2: subdevice #2  Subdevice #3: subdevice #3card 0: b1 [bcm2835 HDMI 1], device 1: bcm2835 HDMI 1 [bcm2835 HDMI 1]  Subdevices: 1/1  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0card 1: Headphones [bcm2835 Headphones], device 0: bcm2835 Headphones [bcm2835 Headphones]  Subdevices: 3/4  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0  Subdevice #1: subdevice #1  Subdevice #2: subdevice #2  Subdevice #3: subdevice #3
Why is there the difference in the subdevice capabilities?
Which one should I use?

With this command:

Code:

speaker-test  -c 8 -r 48000 -f S24_LE
Everything is mixed in 2ch (front L an R)

What else can I try?

Many thanks,

Eddy
